Calories: 284kcal
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups oats
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/3 cup milk
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the oatmeal and blueberries and stir gently, ensuring the blueberries are lightly coated in flour.2 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 1/4 cups oats, 1 cup fresh blueberries
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla. Whisk that together until fully incorporated. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid ingredients.1/3 cup milk, 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Using a spatula, stir gently, using a slicing motion to pull the dry ingredients through the wet ones to avoid stirring too much - we don't want the gluten protein forming or the blueberries to burst.
- Dump the mixture onto a silpat or other non-stick surface. Sprinkle a little more flour over the dough if it feels at all sticky. With fresh blueberries, you need a little more flour than you normally do for scones. Form the dough into a circle about 1/2 inch tall.
- Use a board scraper or knife to cut the circle into triangles like a pizza.
- Separate the triangle shaped scones onto a silpat or parchment covered baking sheet. They won't expand too much, but separate them on the baking sheet so there is room for air to circulate while baking.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 12-14 minutes, until they are golden brown. Let them cool for just a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Don't use frozen blueberries, as they'll be too wet for this recipe
- They are best on the same day but will keep for a day or two in a tightly sealed container.
